==What constitutes grass==

Grasses belong to the [[Poaceae family]], and are either evergreen or deciduous, annual or perennial.  They have arching or erect stems which are usually round and hollow, with regularly spaced nodes easily visible in the jointed stems (culms to be exact) of bamboos.  The foliage is borne in 2 ranks from sheaths, which can be peeled back or split.  The plants can be yellow, red, silvery blue, or shades of green.  Many grasses under cultivation have variegated leaves and/or stems either lengthwise on the plants or in cross-bands.

Delicate inflorescences come in the form of planicles, spikes, racemes of tiny spikelets, and are usually feather and light, with a subtle color.  Many can be used fresh or dried as indoor displays.
